The Akademik Sergei Korolev ((ロシア語:Академик Сергей Королев)) was a space control-monitoring ship constructed in 1970 to support the Soviet space program. Named after Sergei Korolev, the head Soviet rocket engineer and designer during the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union in the 1950s and 1960s, the ship also conducted upper atmosphere and outer space research.〔Norman Polmar, ''Guide to the Soviet Navy'', Fourth Edition (1986), United States Naval Institute, Annapolis Maryland, ISBN 0-87021-240-0〕 In Soviet times, the ''Akademik Sergei Korolev'' was a large communications ship which was part of a fleet of communications ships. These ships greatly extended the tracking range when the orbits of cosmonauts and unmanned missions were not within range of Soviet land-based tracking stations.〔''Tracking sites and ships'', (Komsmonavtka Website ), Retrieved 6/13/2008〕 The ship mainly operated in the Atlantic Ocean monitoring spacecraft trajectory, telemetry data, and guaranteed a communications link with the cosmonauts.〔Askar, ''Research ship Akademik Sergey Korolev'' (2006), (Online ), Accessed 6/14/2008〕 The ship had about 1200 accommodations, including 79 laboratories, in which 188 scientific workers performed their duties.〔 In 1975, the ship was a part of the Soviet-American Apollo-Soyuz joint test program.〔''SP-4209 The Partnership: A History of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project'', (U.S.) NASA, (Online Article )〕 Sold for scrapping and renamed OROL, arriving at Alang on 18th August 1996 == See also == * List of ships of Russia by project number 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Akademik Sergei Korolev」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
